What Our Students Say:

Jade W.

Qualified Nail Technician

Group 5

I’ve done many nail courses in my career, but this one stood out for how in-depth and structured it was. The tutorials explained everything from prep to finishing techniques with real clarity, which is so important when working with hard builder gel for the first time. I’ve now introduced gel overlays into my treatment list, and I’m genuinely seeing more repeat bookings. The course has not only built my skills but also boosted my confidence massively. Highly recommend to any tech wanting to level up.”

Melissa H.

Freelance Nail Artist & Mobile Business Owner

Group 5

I decided to take this course to expand my services as a mobile nail tech, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The training is clear, detailed, and easy to follow even around a busy schedule. I loved being able to revisit the lessons as many times as I needed. Since completing the course, I’ve added hard gel extensions to my menu, and they’ve quickly become a client favourite. The certificate arrived quickly too, and I was able to get insured without any issues. Fantastic course and great value.

Katie L.

Salon Owner and Educator

Group 5

As someone who trains junior staff in my salon, I’m very selective about the courses I invest in—and this one is exceptional. I enrolled two of my newest nail techs, and within a week they were confidently practising builder gel application and sculpting. The content is professional, easy to follow, and fully accredited, which gives us peace of mind when it comes to insurance and compliance. We’ve now fully integrated builder gel treatments into our price list and clients are thrilled with the results. Worth every penny!

Sophie T.

Beginner Nail Enthusiast

Group 5

I had no previous experience with builder gel and was honestly nervous about whether I’d be able to learn online, but this course made it so accessible. It explained every step thoroughly, from nail prep to curing and shaping, and gave me the confidence to practise safely at home. I’ve now completed the course, received my diploma, and have started offering nails to friends and family to build my portfolio. I’m already planning to enrol in another Glow Beauty course soon!
